I am in college on an athletic scholarship for college.
Most of my friends growing up are fortunate that their parents are able to afford to pay for their schooling, but that was not the case for me.
I work really strenuous to keep my scholarship too but it’s strenuous balancing my school work with my basketball schedule. I have practice every single day as well as I also have to worry about bi-weekly tests too… Periodically it is overwhelming however I just have to remember that even on the taxing days that I am fortunate to be able to go to college at all. However, this past week it has been strenuous to keep this perspective, then at practice the a/c in the gym wasn’t working as well as it hadn’t been working for about five days. My coach doesn’t care if the a/c is working or not because he will make us practice regardless. I even asked his if someone was going to come out to have the a/c fixed, however he didn’t have the answer. So I asked one of the janitors if the college was going to have an HVAC supplier come out to repair the a/c so my associate and I didn’t have to practice in the heat, but the janitor didn’t know the answer either. I am starting to get aggravated because I just want to practice in cool air. I hope that in the next few days the a/c will be working again.
